    i need a graphics card

    I currently own an Alienware Area-51m 5500 laptop. I just heard about how you can swap the graphics card. Right now Im running the Nvidia GO FX 5700 its ok but i want better. can any body recommend a card that is compatible with the laptop, I want the best, money is no object!!!

    My first port of call would be to the Alienware guys

    They would be best placed to suggest any upgrades on their own notebook

    You may end up doing something else - but they will know all the opportunities/issues available... so definitely worth a call
